Nappy Box Car

I had been meaning to make a car with Master E for some time and hadn't managed it, so while it was raining and Miss M was busy sleeping we got to it. Thanks to Janine for reminding me of this very easy craft.

I had pre-covered a nappy box with some plain white paper. Given Master E a selection of textas, some paper plates and split pins.




Getting ready to get started, just making sure we had everything.

Master E was very keen to get some wheels happening as soon as possible. I used the split pins to help him to add the wheels so that they would spin.


The all important steering wheel is added and now it's time for a quick test drive.

 
Some more test driving and showing off his personalised plates!

Time to think of some other uses for the paper plates. There was a lot of sorting and stacking and unstacking.

Adding some headlights???

Some more touches needed from inside the car. 

We apparently needed an extra steering wheel.

The final touches, with the double steering wheels and interior  design.


We had lots of fun going driving around the loungeroom. Mainly with me pushing. Perfect wet day activity.
